For a moment, Lu Deping thought again, it is impossible for anyone to know about it. In his previous life, he only found out about it later and only told his mother. A mother would not harm her son.

So it is impossible for Lin Minjun to know about this.

Then her sudden change of attitude, asking for divorce and breaking up, was probably just a temper tantrum.

Lu Deping thought for a while and began to think about how to coax Lin Minjun back.

Lin Minjun didn't have the mood to think about what was in his mind. As soon as he got off the train, he went to look for Zhao Ning.

"I'm here, come here quickly." Zhao Ning was tall and waved his hand in the crowd, greeting everyone.

Lin Minjun walked over with a smile, and the two of them started walking out side by side.

"I was originally thinking of taking the bus home, but then I thought, it's not far from my home, you have just arrived in the capital, and I haven't been back for many years. The city has changed a lot, and the streets are more lively. Why don't we just walk back and take a look around?" Zhao Ning suggested.

In her previous life, whenever Lin Minjun entered Lu Deping's house, she felt like she was locked in an invisible cage. At this moment, she stared at both sides of the road without blinking.

"Okay, taking a walk can also broaden your horizons." She nodded.

Zhao Ning's home was in a hutong in Dongcheng District, so the two of them walked there together. Along the way, Lin Minjun's eyes were opened. Everything here was different from her previous life.

Passing by Dazhalan, you can hear hawking from afar, and the voices of two families are particularly distinct.

"Bing~Tanghulu~" the vendor stretched out his voice.

Another person also said, "Baked sweet potatoes"

It was just like an opera, with one person taking the stage and competing with the other. Lin Minjun saw many red candied haws stuck on the straw and walked over involuntarily.

The man selling the candied haws was an old man. Seeing her staring at the candied haws, he came over with a smile and said, "Girl, would you like a bunch?"

Just at this time, Zhao Ning also came over. Lin Minjun took out the money excitedly, "Zhao Ning, let's have a skewer each. Can I treat you?"

When she said this, her eyes sparkled, like a child seeing a treasure, and there was a smile on the corners of her mouth.

Zhao Ning chuckled, trying to tease her, "I won't eat it. According to our old rules, only children can eat it. If adults eat it, they will be laughed at."

As she spoke, she winked at the uncle, asking him not to expose her and that it was just a little joke.

"Only children can eat it..." Lin Minjun was a little disappointed and stretched out her tone. She wanted to taste the candied haws, but she felt it would be bad to make others laugh at her.

For a moment, I thought childishly that I have gone against our ancestors by not getting married or having children, so it doesn't matter if I am laughed at.

I clenched my fists and mustered up the courage to say to the uncle, "I'm not married yet, I'm not very old, and I don't have much to eat. Uncle, give me two skewers!"

Seeing that she was convincing him seriously, Zhao Ning really laughed, "Little Jun, you've been fooled! I lied to you. This is something that both adults and children can eat. What flavor do you want?"

"If candied haws aren't made from hawthorn, are there any other flavors?" She widened her eyes.

These are a pair of extremely moist almond-shaped eyes, with a particularly clear look and childlike curiosity. But she is not completely innocent, she knows how to protect herself.

This made Zhao Ning particularly fond of her, and the two of them laughed and joked around. Although they were not familiar with each other before, they became close now.

She pointed to the straw pile with candied haws and said, "There are many. Look, this one has hawthorn flavor, and there are also orange, grape, and strawberry flavors. Here is the candied haws sprinkled with melon seeds. Which one do you want to eat?"

Unexpectedly, a candied haws can be made into a flower. Lin Minjun quickly made a decision, "I want orange flavor and hawthorn flavor with melon seeds sprinkled on top. Zhao Ning, do you want to eat it?"

"I don't want to eat it. I don't have good teeth." Zhao Ning shook his head.

Lin Minjun took out a cloth bag from her pocket, which contained the money she had saved with great difficulty. She took out the money and gave it to the uncle, then picked up the candied tangerine and took a bite.

First there is a snapping sound, and the sugar coating becomes crispy and melts sweetly in your mouth, turning into honey water. You have to taste this sweet taste first before you can eat the icy, cool and refreshing orange.

They ate as they walked, and when Lin Minjun finished two strings of candied haws in one breath, she followed Zhao Ning to the alley where her home was.

Entering the alley, I saw someone washing a bicycle by the well, humming a song as he washed, "Although the green mountains are full of obstacles, the wind is strong and fierce..."

The humming guy was a young man wearing a half-worn cotton coat. He looked up when he saw someone coming in from the alley. When he saw the two people, he was stunned at first, "Is it Zhao Ning? Are you back from Yunnan?"

"It's me." Zhao Ning stopped and said.

Lin Minjun turned her head curiously and found that although Zhao Ning's tone was calm when he said this, his eyes were looking that way intently, and he kept swallowing his saliva, looking a little nervous.

Zhao Ning adjusted himself and said with a smile, "Xu Yi, I haven't seen you for so many years. I heard that you have become a teacher and have a family. I must meet your sister-in-law and children."

"What kind of family is that? It's still a long way off." The young man said with a smile, "Go home quickly. Your mother is waiting for you at the entrance of the alley every day. Her eyes are almost peeled."

Having said that, the young man smiled at Lin Minjun in a friendly manner.

Lin Minjun smiled and nodded, said hello, and continued to walk inside with Zhao Ning. Along the way, several neighbors came out and said to them, "We're home! We're glad to be back."

"Go check on your parents, they are waiting for you."

Hearing this, Lin Minjun followed Zhao Ning and quickened her pace, walked to the gate of a courtyard house at the end of the alley, pushed the door open, walked through the screen wall, walked through the first courtyard, and then walked inside through the corridor.

They walked all the way to the third courtyard and counted three rooms from the side door. The door was open. Zhao Ning took two deep breaths and pulled Lin Minjun in.

There was a narrow living room at the entrance. A middle-aged man was sitting there, tidying up the coal stove. He looked over when he heard the noise, his lips trembling, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Dad!" Zhao Ning cried out, tears falling.

Father Zhao stood up with a cry, ran over, stretched out his arms to hug the young lady, but in the end he failed.

When she was sent away, she was a little girl, and this time she has become a grown-up girl. He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He patted the lady's shoulder, turned around and shouted, "Mom, the lady is back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of ping-pong noises in the house, and then a middle-aged woman came out and stumbled to Zhao Ning.

Without saying anything, she broke down and cried, "You're finally back."

"I'm back! Mom, I won't leave you from now on." Zhao Ning looked at her, trying hard to hold back tears. "You've lost a lot of weight, and your complexion is very bad. How could this happen?"

"Mom is fine, she just hasn't been feeling well lately. But as soon as my young lady came back, all my illnesses were cured." Mother Zhao looked at her young lady with pity, and naturally noticed Lin Minjun standing next to her, "Who is this..." she asked hesitantly.

Zhao Ning pulled Lin Minjun over and introduced her, "Dad, Mom, this is my friend from Yunnan. She helped us a lot when we went to the countryside. She came to the capital with us and is staying in our house temporarily."

Lin Minjun immediately smiled and called out, "Hello uncle, hello auntie, my name is Lin Minjun."

"Hey, good boy, sit down first. I'll pour you a glass of water." Mother Zhao poured a cup of tea for both of them, then pulled them to sit down and asked Lin Minjun to eat some mixed fruits.

Still thinking about their daughter, the couple kept talking to Zhao Ning, their concern almost overflowing from their faces.

"He's thinner and darker. He must have suffered a lot."

"This dress is old. Mother, take Ningning to the street to buy some cloth and make some clothes for her. Or you can just buy ready-made clothes. Nowadays, little girls on the street like to wear skirts. Dress up your child too."

"My daughter has become so thin. She must not have eaten well there. Every New Year and other holidays, your father and I would wonder what you eat, what you wear, and whether you are full." Mother Zhao began to wipe away her tears as she spoke.

Over there, a family of three sat together, with Zhao Ning surrounded by his parents, who spoke to him left and right, showing great concern for him.

Lin Minjun drank her tea, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't jealous.

She has never had this kind of experience in her previous life, this life, or both lives combined. The educated youth who have returned to the capital are probably now surrounded and cared for by their entire families, but she has no home.

In her previous life, she married Lu Deping hastily because she was anxious to have a family. Facts proved that this was a wrong step.

Fortunately, everything starts over again and this life is different.

Perhaps he noticed Lin Minjun's discomfort, Zhao Ning said, "We can talk about the rest in the evening. There should be food at home. We have been on the train for a long time and our stomachs are growling."

Mother Zhao wiped her tears and said, "What a coincidence! I was just cooking when you came back. The food is not even in the pot yet. I will cook it now."

Having said that, her eyes were still glued to the young lady, and she was reluctant to leave.

"Auntie, let me go. I'm sure your family has a lot to talk about."

Lin Minjun found the opportunity and stood up.
